•Port Type specific Data Section expanded for additional port types



• Ch 9 - Events

•ReturnReceipt flag added to force controller to acknowledgereceipt of Alarm

•Added Adjacency Update Message• Ch 10 - Service Model

•Addition of Circuit Emulation Service information•Other traffics parameters added

• Ch 11 - Adjacency Message moved here

•Added Support for Multiple Controller Adjacency• Ch 12 - Failure Response codes description updated and

moved here.

• Appendix A - Summary of messages updated and moved from chapter 12

LabelsLabels• Type Bit indicates whether a Short Label of TLV label was being used

• Short Labels - traditional GSMP 28 bit label field

Addition of label type FR, MPLS,

• TLV Labels

• Stacked Labels

• Replaced E(xtended) designation for S bit to indicate Stacked LabelStacked Labels are treated as a single label

• All Labels in spec designated as:

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

|T|S|x|x| Label |

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Removed all references to extended labels in the messages themselves. Any label can be a stacked label (indicated by S). T indicates whether label is short or TLV.

Adaptation MethodAdaptation Method

Adaptation MethodThe adaptation method is used to define the adaptation framing that may be in use when moving traffic from one port type to another port type; e.g. from a frame relay port to an ATM port.The content of this field is defined by the Opaque flag. If the Opaque flag is set, then this field is defined by the switch manufacturer and is not defined in this protocol. If the opaque flag is not set, the field is divided into two 12-bit fields as follows:

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

|IQS|OQS|P|x|N|O| Input Adaptation | Output Adaptation |

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

| Event Flags | Flow Control Flags |

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Event Flags Field in the request message is used to reset the Event Flags in the switch port indicated by the Port field. Each Event Flag in a switch port corresponds to a type of Event message. When a switch port sends an Event message it sets the corresponding Event Flag on that port. Depending on the setting in the Flow Control Flag, a port is either subject to flow control or not. If it is subject to flow control then it is not permitted to send another Event message of the same type before the Event Flag has been reset. To reset an event flag, the Function field in the request message is set to "Reset Flags." For each bit that is set in the Event Flags field, the corresponding Event Flag in the switch port is reset.


Flow Control changes Flow Control changes cont'dcont'd

Flow Control Flags FieldThis flags in this field are used to indicate whether the flow control mechanism described in the Events Flag field is turned on or not. If the Flow Control Flag is on, then the flow control mechanism for that event on that port is activated. To toggle flow control, the Function field in the request message is set to "Reset Flags." For each bit that is set in the Flow Control Flags field, the flow control corresponding Event in the switch port is toggled.

Reservation MessagesReservation Messages• Reservations are hard state objects in the switch that can be created by the

controller by sending a Reservation Request message.

• Each Reservation is uniquely identified by an identifying number called a Reservation ID.

• Reservation objects can be deleted with the Delete Reservation message or the Delete All Reservations message.

• A reservation object is also deleted when the Reservation is Deployed by specifying a Reservation ID in an Add Branch message.

• A Reservation object includes its Reservation ID plus all the switch state associated with a branch with the exception that the branch’s input label and/or output label may be unspecified.

• The switch established the maximum number of reservations it can store by setting the value of Max Reservations in the Switch Configuration response message.

• The switch indicates that it does not support reservations by setting Max Reservations to 0.

• Reservation Request Message = 70

• Reservation Delete Message = 71

• Delete All Reservations = 72
